A Prosperous Community.

GRAPEVINE, Jan. S.-Last Friday
closed one of the most prosperous
years that this community has ever
enjoyed. Cotton is generally all out,
ginned and sold, and numerous are
the farmers who have some surplus
money. Wheat, oats and rye are look
ing remarkably well, and though there
has not been seasonable shower since
the cd of November, farmers are in
good spirits, since the rainy season is
about at nand, and more particularly
since. it has been so clearly demon
strated that the soil can endure pro-
tracted drouths and then surprise the
oldest inhabitant' by paying yield.

Waco Building.

WACO, Jan. 3.-Rccorder Brinkcr-
hofl Is record book shows that during
the year 1886 only 1873 building per-
mits have been issued by him to per
sons desiring to erect buildings.
Recorder Brinkerhof says permits
have been issued only for about one
building in every ten that has been
contracted for in this city during the
year 1856. 1t is fact that six build
ings, some of which are now in the
course of construction and Others al
ready finished, and for which no per-
miis were issued because applications
were not fled, will cost over $3.50, 600
and should come under the head of
buildings constructed for the year
1886, aud do not appear on the record
book. To any one who has given the
subject a thought il will occur that
there has been nearer 1000 than 100
buildings erected in Waco for the
year 1896, and instead of the gross
figures for the cost of erection being
$4,000 they will reach between
$l,OOOOOO aud $2,0O0000.

Text OF the Presidents Letter TO the

Senate i'm Matthews Favor.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 3.-Thc pres;-
dents denomination of Recorder Mat
thcws after his formal rejection by the
senate is regarded by the senate as an
absolute invasion of that body's
power. The presidents reasons for
the denomination were given in
formal letter accompanying the second
nomination. This message has been
treated as n part of the secrets of the
executive session, and has, therefore,
been withheld from the public. In
timations and gucsses given out by
newspapers in regard to this secret
message have conveyed the impression
that Mr.. Cleveland has rcsorted to n
little bit of diplomatic "hedging,"
hoping thereby to placate the senate,
and possibly to gain enough votes to
carry Matthews through. The letter
is as follows:
TO the President Of the Senate of
the United States: ] nominate James
G. Matthews. of New York, TO be re-
corder of deeds in the District of Co
lumbia, in place of Frederick Doug.
lass, resigned. This nomination was
sent to the senate at its last session
upon the retirement of the previous
incumbent, who for rumbcr of years
had held the Office to which it refers
In the last days of the session the sem
ate declined to confirm the nomina-
ton.
Opposition to the appointment OF
Mr.. Matthews to the Office for which
he was named was developed among
the citizens of the District of Column
bia, ostensibly upon the ground that
the nominee was not q resident OF the
district; and it is sup Roscd that such
opposition, to some extent at least, in
fuenced the determination Of the
question Of his confirmation.
Mr.. Matthews has now been in occu'
paucy of the Office to which he was
nominated for more than four months
and he has in the performance of the
duties thereof won the approval of all
those having business to transact with
the Office, and has rendered important
service in rescuing the records of the
district from loss and illcgibility. |
am informed that his management Of
this Office has removed much of the
opposition to his appointment which
has heretofore existed.
have vcntured, therefore, in view
of the demonstrated fitness of this
nominee, and with the understanding
that the objections heretofore urged
AGAINST his selection have to Il great
extent subsidcd, and coniessing de-
sire to cooperate in rendering to our
colored fellow citizen Just recognition
and the utmost good faith, 20 again
submit this nomination to the senate
for confirmation, at the same time dis
claiming any intention TO question its
previous action in the premises.

Old Fashioned Music.


The Presbyterians of Philadel-
phia are in a great quarrel on the
subject of music in the churches,
one faction desiring plain, old
fashioned congregational singing,
with no choir, and no instrumental
music, while the other faction
wants paid choir of first class
singers, an organ, violin, a cor
net, and other instruments that
will raise the roof. The old back
numbers, who are ready to be filed
away in pigeon holes in the ceme-
terry, adhere to the old fashioned
music, where the deacon with the
worst possible voice starts long
metre hymn to a short metre tune
and everybody catches on and
sings till he runs out of breath;
while the younger portion stick by
the choir of pretty girls and young
men who are fit for opera, and an
organ to raise 'em out. The fight
will be bitter, but the advocates of
good music will win. 1t is always
the case. "Rock of Ages" sounds
better handled by professionals
with voices, than it does to be
ripped up the back by lot of old
fellows grinding coffee with their
teeth.

Sunday School Report.

Secretary's first quarterly re-
portof Mulberry Sunday School,
for the year 1887, commencing
April the 3D. and ending June 26th.
The average number attending
during the first month were ";
during the second month 70; and
during the third month 62; and
the average number attending dur
ing the quarter were %; the larg-
est number present at any time
were ITO, and the smallest num-
ber present we're 55. There have
been some new scholars admitted
nearly every Sabbath during the
quarter. This should be very en-
couraging, especially SO for the
Superintendent and the teachers
for it shows that a great work is
before them In teaching
those that desire to learn some
thing about our blessed redeemer,
and if aided by the Holy Spirit
much good may be accomplished
through their teachings. The
amount of collections for the Sun
day school was $500. We fnd in
the bible that God loveth cheer
full giver. Let all icf us remember
this and give to all Christian
works according to that we have
to give. Our Superintendent was
present every Sabbath during the
quarter; one Of the Assistant Sup
erintendents was present every
Sabbath and the other one was
absent once. The cause of his ab-
sence was attendance at Presby-
terry; Secretary was present every
Sabbath; Librarian was absent
once during the quarter; Treasur-
er was absent twice; teacher of
Bible class number one was absent
twice; teacher of class number two
was present every Sabbath; teach
er of class number three was ab-
sent twice; teacher OF class num-
Der four was absent once. Prima-
ry Teachers:-Teachers of class
number one was absent twice;
teacher of class number two was
absent twice. Let all that at
tend the school be prompt and
present every Sabbath if possible,
and especially those that We're
elected as officers of the school, for
we should remember that we have
a duty to perform. God requires it
at our hands and lie will bless us
for all the good we do. My sin
cere prayer is that the school may
increase in number and in the
knowledge of our Lord and Savior:
so that the quarterly reports in
the future may be equally good or
better than this one.

WEALTH AT OUR DOORS.

1t is, probably, not known to a
dozen men in the county that we
have the finest lime stone,
within a mile of Kirksville,
that can be found in the
state. Expert plasterers and
nasons have thoroughly tested the
qualities of the lime burned from
this stone and pronounce it un-
equalled for cement and first and
second coat plsstering. Plaster
ing done with the mortar made of
lime, shipped from other points, is
a continued annoyance, particular
ly in frame houses, as winds cause
it to be continually breaking and
falling off. Mortar, for masons use,
made of Kirksville lime alone is
superior to the mortar made by
using partlime and part hydraulic
cement, while the plastering done
with Kirksville lime, will not only
remain free from cracks and
breaks, under the hardest blows,
but will stand exposed to the open
weather without cracking or break
ing. While boring for gas may prove
profitable investment, why not
make an attempt to develop the
wealth that is at our doors, even
staring at us from the surface of
the ground.

In Dakota town not far from
Sioux Falls couple of prominent
citizens recently had a personal
encounter in the street. They
ripped and yelled and pounded
and one of them kicked the other
in the mouth and then this one
knocked the other off the sidewalk
and jumped up and down on him
with both feet. They tipped over
baby carriage, scared two ladies
into hystericsan and caused team to
run away. The trouble occurred
next door to the newspaper office.
Both had to be carried home by
friends. Both were heavy adver-
tisers. The paper came out the
next day and said:

nothing in it. The story was pro-
badly started by some of our pro-

The next week couple of tramps
had a misunderstanding out in the
suburbs about a chew of tobacco
and one of them kicked at the
other, missed him and fell on his
back. Then they shook hands and
made up. The next issue of the
paper contained the following:

other for fully half an hour, utter

no hope left that they would kill
each other they were run in by
the police and the next morning
each was given thirty days in Jail.
How much longer will our citizens
quietly submit to such beastly ex-
hibitions? Our laws appear to be
inadequate. The Smeller hereby
